GEM Online Trading By The Industry Standard ibm.com As time-sensitive and information-driven companies with big money at stake, stock brokerages were among the earliest companies to recognize and leverage the power of the Net. The latest report from Credit Suisse First Boston shows fourth-quarter online trading volume increased 34 percent over the third quarter..... Credit Suisse attributes much of this growth to investors' unsated appetite for Net stocks. The securities firm also reports that Charles Schwab is still the No. 1 brokerage in terms of online trades, but Schwab's share slipped three points during the quarter. IDC predicts that the number of online investors in the U.S. will more than quadruple, reaching 22.7 million by 2002. "Most of the growth can be attributed to people who already invested with traditional investment firms and are looking to save money on commission," says Paul Johnson, a senior analyst with International Data Corp. In fact, Johnson estimates that more than 90 percent of today's discount brokerage customers will trade online by 2002. The downside to all this activity: Complaints about online traders were up 330 percent in 1998 over 1997, the SEC reports.
